NEW  YORK 

NEW  YORK— THE  HUB  CITY   OF  THE  WORLD 

A  CITY  OF  8,000,000  POPULATION 

WITHIN  THE  CIVIC  ZONE 

NEW  YORK  CITY  is  the  world's  wonder  city  with  a  myriad 
of  attractions.    As  a  modern  city  of   interest  New  York 
is  without  a  rival  in  the  new  or  old  world.     In  addition  to 
the  city  itself  there  are  many  attractive  nearby  cities. 

New  York  is  now  the  largest  city  in  the  world.  It  has  8,000,000 
residents  ;  within  twenty  miles  distance  are  12,000,000  or  one-tenth 
the  population  of  the  United  States.  In  this  district  more  people 
live  than  in  the  eight  largest  cities  of  the  country,  excepting  New 
York,  or  in  the  entire  Dominion  of  Canada. 

New  York  City  leads  all  others  in  grandeur  and  architectural 
beauty  of  its  municipal,  governmental,  and  commercial  buildings. 
Its  Hotels  are  the  most  luxurious  in  America,  and  not  excelled 
even  by  the  greatest  in  Europe.  Its  Theatres  are  the  best  and  its 
Churches  are  the  most  sublimely  grand.  Its  Museums  contain 
priceless  art  treasures. 

New  York  is  the  financial  center  of  United  States  and  shares 
with  London  the  financial  leadership  of  the  world.  >""It  has  more 
magnificent  shops  than  can  be  found  elsewhere  on  the  globe.  Its 
wholesale  houses  are  the  greatest  in  any  country.  It  has  hundreds 
of  notable  office  buildings,  chief  among  which  are  the  Flatiron,  Singer, 
Equitable,  Metropolitan,  and  Woolworth,  the  last  mentioned  be- 
ing the  loftiest  inhabited  structure  in  the  world,  780  feet  high. 

TRANSPORTATION 

Its  two  great  railroad  terminals,  subways,  bridges,  river, 
tunnels,  afford  direct  connection  with  practically  every  great 
transportation  line  by  which  you  can  reach  80%  of  all  cities 
without  changing  your  sleeping  car.

BOSTON 

A  CITY  OF  2,000,000  POPULATION 

WITHIN  THE  METROPOLITAN  ZONE 

Boston  is  the  capital  of  Massachusetts  and  the  largest  city 
in  New  England,  of  which  it  is  the  financial,  commercial,  social, 
transportation,  educational  and  amusement  center.  It  is  histori- 
cally one  of  the  most  interesting  and  most  important  cities  in 
the  United  States.    It  is  famous  for  its  many  beautiful  suburbs. 

Metropolitan  Boston,  made  up  of  about  40  different  cities  and 
towns  included  in  a  circle  within  a  radius  of  12  miles,  has  a  popu- 
lation of  2,000,000,  which  makes  it  the  fourth  largest  city  in  the 
United  States,  and  the  tenth  in  the  world. 

Boston  is  the  business  center  of  the  most  highly  developed 
industrial  district  in  the  United  States.  This  district,  covering 
a  radius  of  25  miles,  includes  many  of  the  great  manufacturing 
industries  which  make  Massachusetts  first  of  all  the  states  in  boots 
and  shoes,  cotton  goods,  worsteds,  and  woolen  goods,  and  one  of 
the  leaders  in  leather,  confectionery,  rubber  and  other  industries. 

The  value  of  the  output  of  her  4,319  factories,  for  the  last 
year  for  which  figures  are  available  was  $1,240,496,193. 

Boston's  wool  trade  is  second  only  to  that  of  London.  As 
a  wholesale  fish  market  it  ranks  first  in  the  world.  Boston  is  also 
a  prominent  publishing  center. 

Boston  is  the  third  seaport  of  the  country  and  in  imports  is 
second  only  to  New  York.  It  has  a  fine  harbor  and  two  deep  ship 
channels.  Extensive  waterfront  improvements  costing  $10,000,000 
are  under  way.  Many  transatlantic  and  coastwise  steamship  lines 
have  their  terminals  at  Boston,  connecting  with  Liverpool,  London, 
Hamburg,  Glasgow,  the  chief  Mediterranean  ports  and  the  West 
Indies. 

LEADING  CONVENTION  CITY 

Boston  is  a  leader  among  the  convention  cities  of  the  coun- 
try. It  is  the  most  interesting  city  historically  in  the  United  States. 
Its  parks,  fine  roads  and  residence  districts  are  unrivalled.  Its 
climate  is  ideal  and  the  city  is  surrounded  by  beaches  and  pleasure 
resorts  of  every  kind.  Its  hotels  are  unsurpassed,  theatres  and 
stores  equal  to  any  city,  convention  halls  of  every  size,  and  trans- 
portation facilities  of  the  best. 

Hotel  and  other  business  interests  have  combined  with  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  and  formed  a  Convention  Bureau.  This 
Bureau  is  prepared  to  furnish  all  sorts  of  information  relative  to 
hotel  accommodations — for  rooms  and  banquets,  halls  for  Conven- 
tion headquarters  and  meeting  purposes,  and  other  data  pertaining 
to  Conventions  and  New  England  touring.
